Spike TV will air a day-long marathon of “The Ultimate Fighter: U.S. vs. U.K.” on Saturday as a lead-in to the live broadcast of the show’s live finale.

The marathon, which includes all 12 regular-season episodes of the UFC’s reality series, begins at 9 a.m. ET/PT.

“TUF 9″ was the first season of the show to use a country-vs.-country format. Dan Henderson headed an American squad, and Michael Bisping led a team of British fighters.

A total of 16 lightweight and welterweight fighters eventually earned their way onto the cast. After an elimination round, the 16 fighters competed in additional three rounds until only two finalists remained in each weight class. The last remaining finalist was determined on this past Wednesday’s season-ending episode.

The show’s live finale is set for Saturday at The Pearl at the Palms Casino Resort in Las Vegas. In addition to the show’s finalists, the event’s Spike TV-televised main card includes Diego Sanchez vs. Clay Guida, Nate Diaz vs. Joe Stevenson, and Kevin Burns vs. Chris Lytle.

UFC women’s bantamweight champion Ronda Rousey is probably the greatest female fighter on the planet, which is a tremendous feat. So why are we seemingly so obsessed with arguing about whether she could beat up men?
